Australia s contribution to the multi-donor Tonga Outer
OIREP''s focus was installation of solar energy capabilities to nine outer islands of Tonga, with the aim of increasing the reliability, efficiency and affordability of power on these islands.
Australia also has a long history of engagement in relation to helping secure Tonga's outer island energy needs. In the early 2000s, Australia funded the Ha'apai Outer Islands Electrification project (HOIEP), which involved the installation of diesel-powered generators and electrical reticulation on four islands in the Ha'apai group.
According to UK-based aggregate website Cable, Tonga's electricity is the 13th most expensive in the world, at an average cost of USD 0.35 per kilowatt hour (kWh).
This means that little more than 30,000 people are spread across 35 islands, presenting acute issues in terms of the provision of modern infrastructure. At OIREP commencement, the ADB estimated that 89% of all households across Tonga had access to electricity.
As Tonga's most profitable SOE, there is good reason to believe that TPL has the commercial capacity, technical capacity and financial incentive to sustain, maintain and further develop OIREP assets beyond the life of the project given the revenue they can generate.
